Supporting Ripple is not supporting crypto. It is supporting the banks. When facebook, google, or some repressive government releases their own cryptos, supporting those will be no different than supporting Ripple today.
Exactly this kind of association makes Ripple a good speculation tool and may make Ripple the perfect target for a bubble.
And unfortunately that's what many expect: quick money and not really a working, honest cryptocoin.
Ripple has always been one of the market where we get to see some crazy bullish behavior over the years and at the end of it all, the price is something we have always seen not to end up sustainable in the long run anyway as it hits the peak and then come back down a lot lower than you can imagine, so it is normal not to expect so much from this market as the case may be.
in this year the development owned Ripple indeed progress more rapidly and more advanced than other Altcoin.
